Hey, everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea is taxes and shredding. So it’s tax season, you know, obviously it’s not due until April, but a lot of people do them early. Don’t know why. Anyway, so talk about the fact that record retention is something they have to do. I think it’s four years worth of records you have to maintain, but that 5th, 6th, 7th, 20th year, it’s time to shred them. So what we do in our company is we have a shredding day. We hire a shredding truck, costs us $200 an hour for the truck to come to a parking lot. And we invite people to load up their cars and bring boxes and boxes of things to shred. It’s shredded and then recycled and you don’t have to worry about identity theft. So talk about the taxes, talk about your receipts, talk about records, and talk about you hosting a shredding day, or if you don’t wanna host one, find someone who is doing one, maybe a local bank or a mortgage company you tie in with. Host a shredding day, protect their identity, help them shred their documents. Take care. Bye-bye.

Training Training Training
Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and the realty idea of the day is training, training, training. So, you’re a real estate professional. In your state you’re probably required to take courses every year to renew your license. You need to talk about why you are such a well-trained, amazing realtor. Go out there and talk about your training, go out and talk about the training you wanna get this year. Maybe you wanna get a certification. GRI or CRS are the best two, my opinion. Sorry. GRI or CRS, go get those designations. CRS will take you a while. It’s so worth it. So, anyway training, training, training. Make your sphere aware of how hard you work to stay in this business because two reasons. One, they need to know you know what you’re talking about because you have a lot of training. And two, you wanna scare Sally off because Sally is gonna want to get her license because she watched HGTV and saw how amazingly easy it is. Show them how hard you have to work, how hard you have to study, and what it is you put in so that people know, one, you’re smart and two, this is not just something you woke up one day and did. Take care. Bob McCranie. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.
Pet Photo Contest
Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty and your realty idea of the day is a pet photo contest. So, let’s say you go out on your Instagram or your Facebook and you come up with a hashtag like, “#bobspetcontest.” And you ask people to post the best pet pictures they have of their pets. Whoever wins gets a Starbucks card, gets whatever, and you get connection to them. This doesn’t sound like it’s a real estate post. It’s totally a real estate post. So, when you do this, go out to their post, comment on it, create that connection, and then name the winners. Whoever wins gets a prize. You take it over, you do a pop-by, you have a reason to go talk to them and ask for the business. But by doing this, you also increase your social media connectivity because when you have conversations, Facebook and all the others go, “Oh, they like to talk to each other.” And then when you have a listing or open house or something like that, they say, “These people talked before, let’s show them that again.” Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty, pet photo contest, it’ll be fun. Bye-bye.
Ask For Business
Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty. And your realty idea of the day is ask for the business. How many times do you see salespeople out there and they’re promoting themselves and they’re doing things but they never come around to, “I’m ready, are you ready to buy and sell? I’d like to be your agent.” Ask for the business. Go out on your social media and say, “Hey, I’m Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, insert your name here, and I would like to list your home,” or, “I would like to help you buy or sell a home.” “Do you know just one person looking to buy or sell a home, please refer them to me.” Ask for the business. We make so many other conversations starters, we do so many things, but do we ask people and say, “Hey, I want to be your person.” So ask for the business and see what comes back. It doesn’t hurt to ask. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Go ask for the business. Bye-bye.
